I had a thorough discussion with Genn Diesen today, that ranged over the flames springing up with various levels of intensity in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Turkey — and in the West Bank.
I said that the settler and more messianic parts to the Israeli coalition government were intent on fanning the Palestinian-Settler confrontation into hot war ahead of the Israeli elections in October. The settlers want a crisis sufficiently severe to cause a Palestinian exodus (ethnic cleansing).
The attack on the Jizan refinery in Saudi Arabia was highly significant both symbolically and economically (but barely registered in the western MSM). The situation in Iraq was fragile in the wake of PM Ali al-Zaidi’s promise to Trump to disarm the Shi’a militias (Iraq is a majority Shi’a state).
We agreed that Trump’s options were few in the military sphere against Iran, as well as in any attempt by Trump to pivot back to negotiations with Iran. The earlier talks had been so thoroughly discredited by Trump’s falsities.
We discussed what Netanyahu’s visit to Washington might portend. I suggested that Netanyahu wanted Trump to resume the strikes on Iran (with the focus on Iranian infrastructure) and that he would likely present ‘fresh intel’ on Iran’s nuclear programme — however I pointed to our Conflicts Forum report on the collective Israeli security establishment’s disavowal of Netanyahu’s claims in respect to Iran’s nuclear status.
We concluded by observing the reality of an approaching energy crisis, and how this was being kept out of mainstream media so that most people in Europe were quite unaware of the gravity of what was unfolding since benchmark prices were being manipulated to give the appearance that all was ok, with nothing occurring to be of concern to the average European citizen.

Alastair, thank you for your clear-eyed and clear-minded reporting.
Dear Sir Alastair:
I was interested in your recent talk with Glenn Diesen where you spoke of Manichaeism, which is certainly a psychological operation employed by propagandists to support war crimes (although history supports the Iranian view of the United States and Israel as Big and Little Satan).
Still, that’s not my question, since I wanted to ask you more about what we might call intellectual history.
I am a friend of Iran, but doesn’t Manichaeism derive from Zoroastrianism, while it takes its name from the Persian prophet Mani?
My understanding is that all the Abrahamic religions derive not only from Egypt but also from Zoroaster, who came from Persia—while I believe them all to be ongoing psychological operations.

In this regard, my thesis is that an ancient luciferian conspiracy has worked through history, and empires, with hidden advanced technology (that has nothing to do with nonexistent aliens or time travel), as it uses astrological and numerological markers to advertise its control of the ongoing war (while astrology and mathematics also come from Persia).

I would be interested in the thoughts of you and your colleagues, including recommended other sources, on these and related subjects, while I believe these psychological operations also connect to Russia, the big winner in the developing war, as well as (with a nod to the East India Company, whose president gave his name to Yale) to the tongs and triads who lie behind China, another winner in the developing war, so Russia will take Europe, and China will take Taiwan.

Otherwise, I believe this further connects to an ongoing secret war between the fossil fuels and the fake alternative energy cartels, as to the production of electricity, refrigeration, and transportation, inter alia, while both sides are using weather weapons in violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques (ENMOD).

I have posted some of my articles above, so you can get a better idea of my thinking (only if you like)
Thanks for all your work!
